dont the 1200gs also have a road wheels option? so i iagine a set of those.

im sure someone will be along shortly to advise about interswapping the wheels within the bmw range, however obviously rule out any of the pre 1200 R bikes as the rear hubs are 4 stud, not 5.

initially id have thought any of the other r1200 models should be a pretty straight swap from what i know of bmw.....

for example;

and fitted-

-and the road wheel the bike was offered with as an option NEW-

Super moto

Hi, Have wheels now, all fitted and look great ! had to grind front brake calipers to make clearance for front wheel to rotate cleanly about an hours job! Ok your GS came with wheel option as stn, which is not an option over here, when you look at your bike from the rear is the wheel slightly offset to the left, many people report this, 1 has had his machined to correct this, but a bmw dealer said its not an issue and have put 17'' on ```gs's and had no other alterations, so as yours was an optional extra, does the wheel look offset?, By the way your bike looks great
